The Imperial System definitely feels far more human-oriented ... (and not just because some measurements have body parts associated (foot, handspan, etc))
Temperatures are a good example of this, and I saw a wonderful graphic/meme a few years ago I can put here in print:
---------
F - 0º 100º - pretty cold, pretty hot
C - 0º 100º- cold, dead
K - 0º 100º - dead, still dead
---------
Imperial units are not objectively "better" than Metric units
Neither are Metric units objectively "better" than Imperial units
You can definitely tell Imperial is meant for "human" or "comfort" use vs Metric's "scientific" or "precision" use, though
